And what of 'The King Of Puddings'? Suspicious of that, are you?
Perhaps we ought to be?
See, we understand why it's called black pudding. Pudding? Yum! Who doesn't love pudding? (futile, go ahead and put your hand down). Call it "blood sausage" and the stuff sells less spectacularly well, I think - no matter how delicious it may be.
So this "King of Puddings" stuff - if UK food nomenclature history is any guide - almost has to be made from poop.
